What is a "fable"?
A fable is a short story that conveys a moral lesson or practical advice, often using animals as characters with human traits. These stories are designed to teach values or principles through simple, memorable narratives. The characters in a fable usually represent different qualities or behaviors, and their actions lead to a clear, instructive outcome. Fables aim to provide insights into human nature and ethical conduct in an engaging and easily understandable way.
